POC VPD System Back Protector uranium black

The VPD System Back is a well ventilated and lightweight back protector that can be individually adjusted with its adjustable hip belt and shoulder strap fix points for a perfect fit. This guarantees the best possible protection for every wearer. Thanks to POC's patented VPD material, which adapts individually to body temperature, the protector is extremely flexible. It complies with the Level 1 (CE EN 1621-1) standard, offers good ventilation, lies flat and fits under any jersey.

VPD
The VPD (Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough) range offers extreme impact absorption, which has given POC a completely new approach to developing body armor. VPD is highly impact absorbent, comfortable and adapts to create an individual fit and due to its high level of protection and the ability to transition from soft to hard during impact, we don’t have to choose between safety and flexibility.

Many protectors are lightweight, but may not be optimal for shock absorption. Some can take one impact with good shock absorption, but a second impact to the protector will transfer a much higher amount of energy to the user, the third an even greater amount and so on. VPD material retains the same high absorption level, and that is an important property for POC since they believe that a protector will have several impacts during one fall, and during its lifetime.
